Dynamite Orange-Almond Salad image

Found this in the book At Home Cafe. I have modified it a little. It is great if you add crumbled blue cheese, mushrooms, shredded chicken and dried cranberries on top also. You can glaze the almonds and dressing ahead to save time.

Time 12m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 teaspoon salt
black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons vinegar, white balsamic
1/4 cup oil
6 drops Tabasco sauce (we like some zing)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup sliced almonds
3 tablespoons sugar
1 (12 ounce) bag mixed greens
2 green onions, chopped
1/8 cup sliced red onion
1 (15 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained

Steps:

  • For dressing, combine first seven ingredients (from salt through parsley). Whisk until well blended.
  • For glazed almonds, combine almonds and sugar in a small skillet. Heat on low and stir constantly until sugar is dissolved and almonds are well coated. Sugar can caramelize quickly and burn--watch closely.
  • Pour onto waxed paper to cool.
  • Once cooled, break into small pieces.
  • To serve the salad, combine greens, onions and mandarin oranges into a large salad bowl. Pour dressing over the salad and toss to combine.
  • Sprinkle glazed almonds on top and serve.

I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise-based dressings, so I substituted Greek yogurt instead. It worked out great!

The dynamite sauce is a bit too spicy for me, so I used half the amount called for in the recipe. It was still plenty flavorful.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken or shrimp. I also like to add a handful of chopped cilantro for extra freshness.

I was a bit hesitant to try this salad because I'm not a huge fan of oranges, but I was pleasantly surprised. The oranges add a nice burst of flavor and the almonds add a satisfying crunch.
